Maintain Equipment Safety & Longevity
Many industries struggle to maintain high safety standards while managing costs. Specialized equipment, such as cut-resistant gloves or high-visibility safety gear, is expensive to replace and environmentally harmful when disposed of prematurely.
Thankfully, Majestic offers durable, high-quality products to protect workforces and ensure longevity. Following proper procedures, Majestic gloves maintain performance over ten cleaning cycles, preventing germ spread and promoting worker safety.
Improve the Safe Use of Equipment
Keeping PPE clean reduces the spread of germs, prevents contamination, and keeps workers safer. Regular cleaning is crucial; depending on the frequency of contaminant exposure, washing safety gloves weekly or more is recommended. However, improper cleaning can degrade reflective and cut-resistant materials, leading to further injury. It is important to closely monitor the condition of safety gear, watching for signs of fading, tearing, or wear.
Proper Care and Maintenance
Given the variety of materials used in our high-visibility equipment, cut-resistant sleeves, and safety gloves, the best cleaning methods can vary. The following guidelines will help keep your PPE clean and your team safe, maintaining performance and hygiene standards.

Leather Gloves
Leather gloves are sensitive to water exposure. For regular upkeep, wipe them inside and out weekly with a cloth. For a deeper clean, use saddle soap with cold water. If saddle soap isn't available, scrub with a toothbrush, soak in cold water with mild soap, and gently squeeze out the water before air-drying to maintain the glove's shape. Avoid harsh soaps to preserve the leather's natural oils and prevent stiffness.

Dipped Gloves
Latex and nitrile dipped gloves can be damaged by usual washing methods. For these gloves, remove debris on the dip with a brush or scrubber to clean. Finish cleaning the glove using mild soap and cold water, either by hand or on a gentle cycle in the washing machine. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to eliminate all soap residue. Avoid harsh soaps, as they can damage the coating.
High Visibility Apparel
Use a mild, non-biological detergent without fabric softeners or bleach to preserve the reflective properties of high-visibility apparel. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, turning the vests inside out to protect the reflective elements. Air-dry to maintain their shape and reflective qualities. Look for laundry instructions on the tags of each item for specific care guidelines to ensure long-term effectiveness.
Actifresh Sanitized Gloves
Actifresh-certified gloves use a special treatment that includes zinc pyrithione to stop bacteria from growing on the glove surface. This keeps the gloves fresh and clean for longer and helps prevent odor. These features are especially helpful in work environments where gloves must be worn for extended time, ensuring workers stay comfortable and confident.
Improve Hand Cleanliness
The special treatment controls bacteria on the glove surface, essential in places such as the food, industrial, and medical industries, where cleanliness is crucial. The added protection also helps support users' health and well-being, keeping their hands safe and clean.
Extend Glove Lifespan
Actifresh gloves, like Majestic’s other machine-washable gloves, can be laundered regularly. However, because they inhibit bacterial growth, they will not break down as quickly as others. When extending the lifespan of safety equipment is a priority, choose gloves marked as Actifresh sanitized.
